Nominations Are Closed (and Clean Up Post)  
Thanks for all the work you put into nominating things. I'm really excited about the sheer variety of fandoms nominated.

Now, clean up. If all y'all wouldn't mind, could you look over the fandom lists and check for duplicates (Beth Childs/Sarah Manning AND Sarah Manning/Beth Childs for example), duplications across fandoms (ex: Taylor Swift/K$hea showing up in both Pop Music RPF and Actor RPF) misfiled pairings (Star Trek characters showing up in Harry Potter), misspellings, inappropriate characters (like someone nominating an unambiguously male-identified character), and stealth threesomes or crossovers (those Warner Brothers characters getting in with the Disney Princesses again!)? That would be a great help.

If you have a particular problem with how something is sorted, mention that too, and I'll see if fixing it will work.

A couple of issues I have that I'd like comm input on: Compilation of Final Fantasy VII vs Final Fantasy VII issue, and the Game of Thrones vs A Song of Ice and Fire issue.

Compilation of FF7 and FF7 have almost identical pairing sets (One assumes because FF7 is part of Compilation). They each, however, also have some unique pairings. Compilation has Shera/Scarlet, and FF7 proper has Elena/Aerith Gainsborough and Aerith Gainsborough/Tifa Lockhart.

I feel like I could roll everything into Compilation and delete FF7 (or the other way around). Does that work for everyone? As it stands, the duplication would make matching difficult.



Mea Culpa on the next one. I hadn't noticed that both GoT and ASoIaF were categories on the go, and didn't try sorting them from the start. By this point, about 3/4s of the pairings are duplicated, intentionally or not, and it's going to be a bit of a mess to sort out. As I see it, the options are:

1) Eliminate one category and roll the refugee pairings into the other. Problem because, as I understand it, the canons have diverged enough that people might ship one thing one place but not another. Am I wrong?

2) Try to separate the two fandoms into what was originally nominated where (what should have happened in the first place). Problem because it would be a pain in the neck and require everyone remembering what went where.

3) Do nothing. Leave all the duplicated pairings as they are. This would certainly be easier. I suppose people asking for/offering the same pairings across the board could be a problem, but that can happen in comics fandom too.

Thoughts, feelings, opinions?

Dollhouse - Echo/Sierra and Echo/Priya Tsetsang. Sierra and Priya are actually the same person. Sierra's her code name while she's in her doll state.

Fixed it, thanks.

(These kinds of things are really helpful, as I don't know all the fandoms and wouldn't pick up on the distinction).

You're welcome. Also, my input on Game of Thrones and ASOIAF is that they stay separate categories. There's been a lot of canon divergence since S2 (Shae and Sansa have a completely different relationship, Asha Greyjoy doesn't even have the same name.) They're turning into different universes, like True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels it came from. Then again, you could have people requesting both to ensure they get their favorite pairings, so that's a con. :/
